Jenson Button thinks that his fight for victory in the Monaco Grand Prix is far from a lost cause, despite world championship leader Sebastian Vettel starting ahead of him on the grid. With track position vital in Monaco, and the dirty side of the track having not offered the best get away in the support races, Button's chances of beating Vettel into the first corner appear to be slim.

We all lament the fact that real life gets in the way of the things we want to do. This was true on many levels for Monday Night’s iRacing V8 Supercar Series at Mid Ohio, Week Four. Firstly, series heavyweights Madison Down and Peter Read were absent from the proceedings. Down was in the USA. Real-world V8 Supercar star, Stone Brothers Racing’s Shane Van Gisbergen showed that he’s had just about enough of these sim racers keeping him off the podium’s top spot. He made his intentions known with a pole time of 1 min 23.26. The Hague’s Rens Broekman made a return to the top split sharing the front row with Van Gisbergen. XSG’s Michael McCabe was also returning, replete with new livery, taking third grid spot just to [...]

Lewis Hamilton said that a wrong strategy choice was responsible for him qualifying down in seventh place for the Monaco Grand Prix. The McLaren driver had been fastest in both Q1 and Q2, but only planned a single run at the end of Q3 with super soft tyres and was one of the drivers caught on a flying lap when Sergio Perez's heavy crash brought out the red flags with just over two minutes to go. In a bid to get a good track position once the green flags waved again, Hamilton left his garage early and queued in the pitlane, causing his tyres to lose temperature and leaving him with cold tyres and brakes and an understeering car.
